UK Stock - Xperia Arc General

Does anyone know what is going on with UK stock for this? It's been out at most places since before easter and the likes of CPW are still saying >14days for stock.
Any ideas?

Earthquake, Tsunami, Nuclear meltdown.
As excuses go you have to admit it beats "the dog ate my homework".

Yup its True
There is a strong shortage of Xperia ARC and even Galaxy S2 also owing to Extreme demand and Low stock levels throughout the world.
I dont think even US will get a light of these two fones soon.
I am expecting my pre-ordered ARC around 21st May in India. Thats also
"May be" ...
So better pre order it sooner.

Its in stock on expansys for midnight blue, 5 days estimate for silver. Its where I got mine from on release day

This is what I'd heard, which is fair enough. It's just that I haven't actually seen a SE source confirming. SE tweeted to someone the other day just saying "its been out and available for weeks"

That earth quake is correct carphone warehouse told me that cause they had a conference with se but the only place I could find the arc is with 3 network thats how I got mine

Right I sent mine to 3 cause I cracked screen and it was sim unlocked they told me it didn't matter which firmware I had on aslong as it was stock mate it doesn't have to be 3s own really but they did sim lock it so they unlocked it for free but I was arguing with them over it just flash any generic ftf mate that will do

you just need to register and download the client (.exe file)
Then start the file, login and connect the device. Then you can choose which firmware you want to flash... It really is very easy to use, but you cannot find a flashable file on the website. It is downloaded within the process...

Not sure if it'll unroot the phone, i havent done mine yet because im either waiting for the updates from SE, or the developers hack the bootloader and start making custom roms.

When is UK unlocked firmware gonna be released sick of wait

I know I have the option of update to la4 via Odin but wonder when Samsung will released this to the UK
I have a UK unlocked version xeu and am not impressed the UK users are being made to wait I would have thought the UK market like the German market accounts for a large chunk of note sales so why do Samsung think it is ok to delay our release
I don't want to patch via Odin as I have never done if before and will wait but does anyone know when we will see the release
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yesterday I couldn't wait any more and updated by Mobile Odin Pro. Was fast, easy and LA4 is really more swift and dandy

[from my Galaxy Note]
I got sick of the wait too about 2 weeks back and went the Odin route then changed my CSC whilst I was at it. Very frustrating waiting for updates in the UK and it'll no doubt be another long wait for ICS when it finally comes out for us brits. Luckily flashing LA4 was easy enough...

I can't change my csc as I only have xeu option

Mine is a UK unlocked version which I don't mind sharing, but I need directions on how to properly extract the right files without including personal info and as show of gratitude I would like someone to share the UK samsung movies app version (long story but basically need it to utilize the movies voucher).
I assume what you are asking for is kka?

Singapore Galaxy S3/S3 LTE Owners thread (Reviews, Discussions n More)

Hi guys,
The lucky ones who already got SGS3/SGS3 LTE, please share ur feedback, suggest the place where we can find better deals, etc.
from xperia PLAY
Just a little heads up that the phone is slightly curved on the outer rim around the screen so screen protector might not stick nicely around the edge due to the gap cause by the curve.

I'll be staying in Singapore for 6 months, does anyone know if I can get a good deal on this phone through a contract for 6 months (or even paying for a 1 year contract that I wont use half of)?
Would the phone then work with T-mobile when I come back?

Yeah, today I have used SGS3 and it was pretty cool, It wasnt as good looking as Xperias but its NOT ugly by any means..brilliant screen, smooth scrolling, no lag whatsoever..
Going to buy in couple of weeks, waiting for some price drop
I will skip Xperia this year!!!

Hi SG peeps! Just here to join the party Phones bought here in Singapore should work with any carrier in the world (of course it wont work on 4G) cus all the phones here cannot be locked to carriers according to some rules i heard awhile back. im undecided between sIII or the Nexus (yeah i know huge spec difference) but the ease of unlocking and hacking is a huge win!

Sony Xperia Z2 Philippines Thread

Mabuhay! The official hub of Filipino users here in the z2 general thread! Anyone getting this phone?
Planning to get it. When is it going to be available in stores?

not now maybe z4 or z5

kasi walang budget:'(
Estimated months kailan dadating? Mau z1c na ba sa atin? Wala pa kasi ako nakakkita eh
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch
Xperia Z1 Compact is now available on Xperia stores. Just saw it yesterday in Megamall.

Yes it is available already. The lady says z2 will be available mid April so I'm gonna wait for it instead.
